The perfect job for students can be hard to find. Whilst there are currently more vacancies in the UK than ever before, it’s not always easy to find something that works for you. Maybe you want to spend the summer not just working. You may want to spend time on a hobby too. Or you may want to keep studying and preparing for the next year. Whatever the reason, sometimes you don’t want to make a full-time commitment to a job. But you still want to earn good money. And, you don’t want to have to wait to be paid until the end of the month. The summer break is the time to also have fun. That’s where working in the industrial sector can be the perfect solution.
Our team share the top 5 reasons why working with CSP could be the perfect job for students this summer.
Earn money weekly
We know that managing your money as a student can be tough. Especially in times of a cost-of-living crisis! But you’re home for summer and you want to make the most of it. This is where working in the industrial sector is ideal. When you work for us, you receive your pay weekly. This can make a great deal of difference to how you spend your down-time throughout the summer. Being paid weekly means that you’re not scraping by at the end of the month, waiting for payday. We’ve all been there! Knowing that you will have money in your bank each Friday is a great feeling.
Save for a summer adventure
You’ve worked hard throughout the academic year, and you deserve to treat yourself. Lots of students use the summer break to get away on holiday with friends. Whether it’s a week of sun, sea, sand (and Sangria!), or a volunteering holiday that speaks to you passion, it all costs money. Again, this is where industrial work can be the perfect job for students. There’s no long-term commitment. You can work as little, or as much as you like, for as long as you like. So, if you are saving up for a 2-week summer adventure, why not use the remaining weeks to earn money for this trip? When you work for CSP, you can work for 1 week, 1 month – the choice is yours, whatever the timeframe.
The perfect job for students also pays well
As a student, you no doubt want to earn as much as possible during your break. Did you know that the average manufacturing wage is 12% higher than in other sectors in the UK? (source: MakeUK). This makes it a great choice for students. You don’t want to spend your entire summer working long hours for poor pay. Take a look at our latest jobs to see the pay on offer to see for yourself the great rates in industrial work.
Share your shifts with friends
This has to be our favourite benefit to working in the industrial sector. Did you know that you are able to share your shifts with your friends? Yes, it’s perfectly possible! If you are only looking for work for 1 or 2 days a week, it can be hard to find something. Especially something that you can do every week for the summer. Most hirers are looking for more commitment. Even in the hospitality sector, summer is the busier month and usually the requirement is to work more than just 1 or 2 days a week. When you work in industrial, you are able to take on shifts as friends. You can share the hours and choose your preferred working pattern. As long as the shifts are covered, when you work is entirely up to you and your friends.
Jobs for students that are quick and easy to start
You don’t want to spend the first few weeks of your holiday waiting to be onboarded into your summer job. You want to get to work and start earning as soon as possible. It’s doesn’t take weeks to start in the industrial sector. Once your right to work checks are complete, you can start work the next day.
